Independent consumer reviews like this are so unbelievably important, it cannot be understated how much these are appreciated. Not only does it provide clarity for the consumer, but the boost in reputation from preforming well on this channel no doubt challenges the manufacturer to strive to provide the highest quality product. Not only do you show us how to use our money best, it tells the companies that we want to spend out money wisely, and producing a HIGHER quality product becomes the standard.

Yes and its a fairly safe guess what products they'll be stocking when Project Farm's test results are in. In this case Project Farm's testing is clearly having an effect on retailers' purchasing decisions. Otherwise they are being made purely on marketing hype and the "perceived" company reputation which time and time again Project Farm demonstrates are not reliable guides when trying to find the best products out there or alternatively price/performance.

3M certainly has a well-deserved reputation for high quality; overall results: 13:27 I'm really impressed that 3M Cubitron was the only brand which was hardly degraded at all by sanding on metal for 2 minutes: 13:16 True fact: I have a lot of 8" diskettes, with data on them, which I would love to recover. But the _ONLY_ brand which is still usable, 1/3 century later, is 3M. The other brands all self-destruct in the diskette drive, because the adhesive which sticks the oxide recording layer to the substrate has degraded, and the oxide comes off when the head rubs it. (Unfortunately, the data I want is on the other brand diskettes, mostly BASF and Wabash -- if anyone knows a way to read those diskettes, please contact me.)

@@ProjectFarm I will ask a bit of a counter-question. So if you are looking at maximum removal, this test is perfect. The good performance of removing materials from some of the brands might also suggest that the grain size could be larger or rougher than on the lower performing brands, i.e. different production standards/quality. So if one brands 120-grit is actually a 125 grit, it of course should outperform another brand which have their 115-grit labelled as 120 grit. It would be interesting to see the performance between papers from different batches, to see if the quality is consistent between different manufacturing runs. Other times you might be looking for the best finish including (or the lack of) circular scratches, lesser risk of burning the materials, degrading between center and outer edges (leading back to finish quality) and etcetera. This might be a bit extreme lengths, but I think that this test could be worth revisiting with different criteria to test. All cheers for an awesome channel!

This is a very well thought out comparison test and has confirmed my 3m abrasive preference which I have used in the auto industry for over 40 years. I regularly what this guys comparison videos as they are clearly unbiased and relevant. This guy rocks.

I've always thought Diablo products were the best bang for the buck but I didn't realize that some of their products are actually the best product not just the best value. Their saw blades are the only ones I run anymore. Also I really appreciate that you've basically become "Consumer Reports" for us blue collar folks who work with our hands.

this is what consumer reports was supposed to be until they became a corporate shill. i hope this guy doesn't sell out i bought many products based on his videos. The only one i would really disagree with so far is the double sided tape, the 3m vhb tape is far superior to anything else that exists. i bought all three top products and 2 failed where the 3m stuff worked as expected (taping various things to bottom of my desk)

You really should have way more subscribers, not that 1.7 million isn't a lot but you offer such valuable content. Whenever I am looking to buy a new product I always look to see if you have tested it first.

A disc that lasts 20 percent longer and costs 250 percent more, is a conundrum for me. On one hand, it might save a Theoretical hour and a half per day. However, the reality is maybe 20 minutes . The paper savings is an questionable. I am a guy who walked into an automobile paint supply for a few sheets of sandpaper, post spraying primer, and saw a bill for $55. Back in the 90s I used a fast drying patch, lots of hugh quality oil spray of doors, and would spend 70 dollars for 1 or 2 rooms on sandpaper. So, I don't take the cost of sandpaper lightly. I went through hundreds of sheets on a few hundred feet of railing and backing 2 by 4 for strip and restaining, refinish. I routinely buy hundreds of 7 inch 24 grit grinder discs. I assure you that at 90 cents a resin backed disc beats a $5 3m disc every time. In this video, the diablo 36 cent disc (they are actually 20 cents) and the 3m stood out. If I didn't sand a lot, or it were not my money (the boss' money) I would go for the 3m. Now, if a guy could sand worth of diablo 10 hours of doors in 8 hours using 3m. If my labor is worth $15-$70 depending on the time of the year, this would be balanced against the extra cost of the 3m paper, which i would not be surprised if more than $140 given the kind of price gouging paint stores are guilty of..... It takes really big jobs and writing the data down, side by side, to form a good opinion.... From this video, the bet is on 3m or the diablo to go head to head in a real long job.

Love your sandpaper testing methods. I can not imagine your testing methods for toilet paper. :-)
